“I thought I was the only one who didn’t know what to say at interviews.” That’s a call we hear a lot from school leavers with disabilities. It’s heavy. And it’s fixable. Here’s how we get you into real jobs through our School Leaver Employment Supports (SLES) program: you complete the eligibility form, then we work with you on tailored guidance, practical tools, and steady encouragement for the transition to work. SLES is free for eligible young people under government support.

Last 30 days: 6 small “clarity gaps” turned into performance talk, until we fixed the process. Here’s our 2-step rule before you ever fall behind: 1) Ask for a one-line “If/Then” instruction for your task (If it’s unclear → I confirm X). 2) End every shift with a 3-bullet recap to your supervisor: what you completed, what’s waiting on approval, and what support you need tomorrow. That’s how small issues stop snowballing, and how confidence stays steady, even when the workplace gets messy.

Are you “formatting your way” to a great first impression, then watching employers scroll past your best evidence? We see it a lot: resumes packed with paragraphs of duties, no clear proof.

Next Gen Youth Employment recommends a 1-page layout where every job-relevant skill is backed by one specific example (school, volunteering, or training), written as: Action → Support strategy → Result That way, employers don’t have to guess what you can do.
